About Me

Needing an outlet to share the joy, I’ve found creating cakes, cookies, candies and a sprinkling of crafts and what nots, I decided to start a blog www.bakerselement.blogspot.com

We compliment each other, what I’m not good at she excels at. We take the odd class here and there. We've been members of Michigan International Cake Exploration Societe http://www.michiganices.org (Michigan ICES) since 2010. We still take the odd classes here and there to better ourselfs.
